湖南中—新元古代火山—侵入岩地球化学及成因意义

江南造山带西段湖南中、新元古代火山－侵入岩具有截然不同的地球化学特征。中元古代火山－侵入岩金属亚碱性玄武岩类，MgO,Ni,Cr含量及Al2O3/TiO2比值高，稀土元素分馏形式多样，更多地具有岛弧火山岩的特征，新元古代中基性火山－侵入岩MgO,Ni,Cr含量较低；其中的基性岩大多属碱性玄武岩类，并较富TiO2,Al2O3/TiO2比值较低，HFSE明显富集，微量元素标准化曲线与OIB类似，具有裂谷玄武岩的特征。中元古代南桥玄武岩εNd(t)为6．86－8．98，具有明显的N－MORB特征，是俯冲带附近的古洋壳残片，为九岭古岛弧提供了新的证据。中元古代的益阳玄武岩εNd(t)为1．56－1．76，Nb,Ti,Zr亏损，Th相对富集，具俯冲带火山岩的地球化学特征，同时这些玄武岩具有高MgO、高Al2O3/TiO2比值和Ni,Cr含量，具科马提质玄武岩的特性，可能是局部地幔柱－弧相互作用的产物。新元古代早期益阳安山质集块岩Th,La,Sm和Nd富集，Nb,Ti,Zr和Hf亏损，εNd(t)值为－0．53－－1．05，是格林威尔造山运动的产物。新元古代黔阳，古丈、高桥火山－侵入岩原始地幔标准化曲线近似于OIB，具裂谷玄武岩的特征，黔阳，古丈基性岩εNd(t)值在1．09－1．69，来源于软流圈地幔，湖南这些中－新元古代火－侵入岩的地球化学特征记录了Radinia超大陆在该区从拼合到裂解的演化踪迹。     

Paleomagnetism of Middle Proterozoic mafic intrusions and Upper Proterozoic (Nankoweap) red beds from the Lower Grand Canyon Supergroup, Arizona

Paleomagnetic data from lavas and dikes of the Unkar igneous suite (16 sites) and sedimentary rocks of the Nankoweap Formation (7 sites), Grand Canyon Supergroup (GCSG), Arizona, provide two primary paleomagnetic poles for Laurentia for the latest Middle Proterozoic (ca. 1090 Ma) at 32°N, 185°E (dp=6.8°, DM=9.3°) and early Late Proterozoic (ca. 850–900 Ma) at 10°S, 163°E (dp=3.5°, DM=7.0°). A new ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age determination from an Unkar dike gives an interpreted intrusion age of about 1090 Ma, similar to previously reported geochronologic data for the Cardenas Basalts and associated intrusions. The paleomagnetic data show no evidence of any younger, middle Late Proterozoic tectonothermal event such as has been revealed in previous geochronologic studies of the Unkar igneous suite. The pole position for the Unkar Group Cardenas Basalts and related intrusions is in good agreement with other ca. 1100 Ma paleomagnetic poles from the Keweenawan midcontinent rift deposits and other SW Laurentia diabase intrusions. The close agreement in age and position of the Unkar intrusion (UI) pole with poles derived from rift related rocks from elsewhere in Laurentia indicates that mafic magmatism was essentially synchronous and widespread throughout Laurentia at ca. 1100 Ma, suggesting a large-scale continental magmatic event. The pole position for the Nankoweap Formation, which plots south of the Unkar mafic rocks, is consistent with a younger age of deposition, at about 900 to 850 Ma, than had previously been proposed. Consequently, the inferred 200 Ma difference in age between the Cardenas Basalts and overlying Nankoweap Formation provides evidence for a third major unconformity within the Grand Canyon sequence.     

Palaeomagnetic constraints on the position of the Kalahari craton in Rodinia

A comparison of late Mesoproterozoic palaeomagnetic poles from the Kalahari craton and its correlative Grunehogna craton in East Antarctica shows that the Kalahari–Grunehogna craton straddled the palaeo-Equator and underwent no azimuthal rotation between ca. 1130 and 1105 Ma. Comparison of the Kalahari palaeopoles with the Laurentia APWP between 1130 and 1000 Ma shows that there was a latitudinal separation of 30±14° between Kalahari and the Llano–West Texas margin of Laurentia at ca. 1105 Ma. The Kalahari craton could have converged with southwestern Laurentia between 1060 and 1030 Ma to become part of Rodinia by 1000 Ma. In Rodinia, the Kalahari craton lay near East Antarctica with the Namaqua–Natal orogenic belt facing outboard and away from the Laurentian craton.     

华南新元古代裂谷盆地演化——Rodinia超大陆解体的前奏

沉积学研究表明，华南新元古代沉积盆地具典型裂谷盆地沉积演化特征。代表裂谷盆地早期形成阶段的成因相组合有：冲洪积相组合、陆相（或海相）火山岩及火山碎屑岩相组合、滨浅海相沉积组合、淹没碳酸盐台地及欠补偿盆地黑色页岩相组合；而代表中、后期形成阶段的成因相组合有：滨岸边缘相至深海相组合，冰期冰积岩相组合、碳酸盐岩及碳硅质细碎岩相组合。华南裂谷盆地岩相古地理演化经历了5个重要的时期，整体上反映了一个由陆变海、由地堑－地垒相间盆地变广海盆地、由浅海变深海、盆地上小变大的演化过程。裂谷盆地的形成经历了裂谷基的形成、地幔柱作用与裂谷体的形成，被动沉降（下坳）与裂谷盖的形成三个阶段。华南裂谷盆地的形成演化与Rodinia超大陆在新元古代时期的裂解作用密切相关，它是超大陆解体过程的一个重要组成部分。     

Lithology and structure of the Grenville-aged (∼1.1 Ga) basement of Heimefrontfjella (East Antarctica)

The Heimefrontfjella mountains, Western Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctica), are dominantly composed of Grenville-aged (≈ 1.1 Ga) rocks, which were reworked during the Pan -African orogeny at ≈500 Ma. Three discontinuity-bounded Grenville-aged terranes have been recognized namely (from north to south) the Kottas, Sivorg and Vardeklettane terranes. The terranes contain their own characteristic lithological assemblages, although each is made up of an early supracrustal sequence of metavolcanic and/or metasedimentary gneisses, intruded by various (predominantly granitoid) suites. No older basement upon which the protoliths of these older gneisses were deposited has been recognized. In each terrane the older layered gneisses were intruded by various plutonic suites ranging in age from ≈ 1150 to ≈1000 Ma. The Vardeklettane terrane is characterized by abundant charnockites and two-pyroxene granulite facies parageneses in metabasites, whereas the Sivorg and Kottas terranes were metamorphosed to amphibolite facies grade. P-T estimates show that peak metamorphic conditions changed from ≈600°C at 8 kbar in the south, to ≈700 °C at 4 kbar in the northern Sivorg terrane. Regional greenschist retrogression of high-grade assemblages may be of Pan-African age. The Heimefrontfjella terranes were juxtaposed and pervasively deformed during a complex and protracted period of E-W collision orogenesis in a transpressive regime at ≈ 1.1 Ga. This is manifest as early, gently dipping thrust-related shear fabrics (D₁), succeeded by the initiation of an important (D₂) steep dextral shear zone (Heimefront shear zone, HSZ), during which the early fabrics and structures were steepened and rotated in an anticlockwise sense. The HSZ is a curvilinear structure which changes from a dextral oblique strike-slip lateral ramp in the north to a steep dip-slip frontal ramp in the south, where it forms the boundary between the Sivorg and Vardeklettane terranes. The Pan-African event is manifested as discrete, low- to medium-temperature ductile to brittle shears (D₃) and numerous K/Ar cooling ages.     

扬子地台西缘对Rodinia形成期地质响应

扬子地台西缘冕宁－会理地区在中新元古代Rodinia形成期地质响应强烈，地质记录丰富，在中元古代时期，本区自北而南、自东而西由克拉通边缘盆地演变陆缘拗陷盆地（南部）和陆间裂谷盆地（西部）；自新元古代以来，盆地构造演化分异更为明显，其北部会理天宝山地区形成岛弧（906Ma），而冕宁地区演变为弧后盆地，同时伴有广泛低绿片岩相区域动力变质，岛弧南部会理菜子园、西南部盐边荒田地区产生地块碰撞拼贴，形成混杂岩带（856Ma）；西侧形成双成岩带（800．9－815Ma），沿该岩带产生高绿片岩相－麻粒岩相区域低压热流变质；随汇聚继续向陆块推进，产生新生火山弧（812Ma），并相继产生弧－陆碰撞，导致S型岩浆侵位（669－687Ma）。至此，本区陆块汇聚作用结束，至晚震旦世，重新拗陷转入被动大陆边缘盆地演化时期。     

IGCP440"罗迪尼亚超大陆汇聚与裂解"项目2003年度工作进展

借助于最新的地质、同位素年代学、地球化学和航空地球物理资料,对全球各地原属于罗迪尼亚大陆组成单元的构造环境、地质事件特征及其演化历史进行了探讨,并提出一些新见解和成因模式.认为东欧克拉通在1.7～0.9Ga有复杂的演化历史一个新的劳仑古陆和西伯利亚的重建发生在1 050～1 000Ma;中、新元古代南美洲造山拼贴的岩石构造历程构成南美陆台的西部边界非洲克拉通是古元古代/太古宙陆块汇聚收敛的结果;东南极的一部分在中元古时期附属于非洲南部;印度西北的新元古代长英质岩浆事件构成了罗迪尼亚大陆的西部边缘;前格林威尔时期的劳仑古陆已被确定为古元古代末期的一个主要大陆;在罗迪尼亚大陆中,华南可能位于劳仑古陆南部和澳大利亚东部之间;塔里木克拉通和扬子克拉通相连接或邻近.据此检验了关于Pisarevsky提出的罗迪尼亚超大陆汇聚和裂解的新模式.新模式提出初始裂解是沿着劳仑古陆的西部边缘,与大西洋北部相类似.同时认为一些大陆(印度、刚果/圣·弗朗西斯科)可能不是罗迪尼亚超大陆的组成部分.     

内蒙古锡林格勒杂岩的地球化学研究:从Rodinia聚合到古亚洲洋闭合后碰撞造山的历史记录

内蒙古东部出露的锡林格勒杂岩主要由中元古代原岩为火成岩的黑云母片麻岩和斜长角闪岩透镜体组成。片麻岩显示轻稀土元素富集的中等分异特征 ,具明显的Eu负异常 ,其不相容元素特征与平均地壳类似但相对亏损Ba和Sr。斜长角闪岩构成一条Sm -Nd等时线 ,其年龄值为12 0 2± 6 5Ma ,εNd(1.2 0Ga)值为 6 .8。角闪岩的亏损地幔模式年龄 (tDM,1.2 6～ 1.32Ga)与其Sm -Nd同位素等时线年龄接近。角闪岩的Rb -Sr同位素等时线年龄为 393± 14Ma ,其87Sr/ 86 Sr初始比值为 0 .70 379± 0 .0 0 0 0 7,此Rb -Sr等时线年龄与本区出露的篮片岩Ar-Ar年龄 (～ 383Ma)一致 ,记录了中亚造山带东南部洋壳俯冲结束后由大陆碰撞造山引起的变质作用事件。黑云母片麻岩的Rb -Sr同位素等时线年龄为 2 79.5± 6 .4Ma ,87Sr/ 86 Sr初始比值为 0 .70 85 1± 0 .0 0 0 10 ,此Rb -Sr等时线年龄与本区广泛分布的早二叠世火山岩的Rb -Sr等时线年龄 (～ 2 77± 15Ma)一致 ,因此可能是由大规模岩浆活动诱发的变质作用的记录。锡林格勒杂岩因此不仅记录了Rodinia超大陆聚合的地质事件 ,并且通过对比研究本地区蛇绿岩和晚古生代岩浆岩的演化历史 ,可以恢复从Ro dinia超大陆聚合 (～ 1.2 0Ga)到古亚洲洋关闭 (～ 4 30Ma)、大陆碰撞造山 (～ 39     

A long connection (750–380 Ma) between South China and Australia: paleomagnetic constraints

A new paleomagnetic study has been carried out on sediments of middle Cambrian age in the North Sichuan Basin (Yangtze Block). Detailed stepwise thermal demagnetizations allowed us to isolate three components. Site-mean direction derived from higher temperature components is D/I=146.9°/–17.1° (₉₅=8.3°) yielding a pole position at 51.3°S, 166.0°E. The fold and reversal tests suggest that remanence was acquired during early stage of sedimentation. Combined with the high-qualities early Sinian (748 Ma) and middle Silurian poles obtained recently from the Yangtze block, the deriving polar track demonstrates a similar loop to that of Australia. After rotating these poles from South China to fit that of Australia, the South China Block is placed against northwestern Australia. This reconstruction favors the correlations of the Jiangnan Grenville-age orogenic belt with the Rudall belt of western Australia, and subsequently the late Proterozoic Jiangnan and Officer/Adelaide rift systems. The paleobiogeographic evidence also indicates that this configuration might maintain by the middle Devonian.
